The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 209 Our Cause is Just

If these beggars could be organized into a network, the efficiency of gathering information would be several times higher than traditional methods.

Anyone who has read martial arts novels or watched martial arts dramas must have thought of this.

Isn’t this the Beggars’ Sect?
In fact, in The Witcher 3, some people thought of this ahead of their time and used this advantage to become one of the four giants of Novigrad.

Although he was given the ridiculous title of "Beggar King", everyone in Novigrad actually treated him with respect.

Because the group of beggars under his command always allowed him to collect the latest rumors and the most valuable information.

Of course, in the current world line, that person definitely doesn't have this opportunity.

After hearing Lynn's question, everyone looked at the witcher with different eyes.

Could it still be like this?

However, at this time, Drake frowned.

"Your Excellency, your ingenious ideas are admirable, but I have a question."

"How can you guarantee the loyalty of these beggars? Or should I say, if someone tries to double-cross the border, how will you deal with them?"

As soon as Drake asked this question, he was met with a look of stupidity from the witcher.

"As I said earlier, these beggars are peripheral members of the syndicate. The so-called peripheral members mean that even if some of them defect, it won't have much of an impact on the organization."

"In addition, the organization only maintains a single line of communication with external members, and apart from the liaison, the external members are not allowed to know the existence of other external members..."

"These are the most basic common sense in the intelligence industry. Has the Syndicate never taught us this?"

Drake suddenly felt his face burning.

Of course she knew all this.

It's just that there is still a filter in her heart.

There is no real equating of beggars with peripheral members recruited from other civilians.

I always subconsciously feel that beggars are unreliable.

"Of course, what we just said was the worst-case scenario, but in reality, as long as they are not fools, it is unlikely that they will betray us, because no one except us treats them as human beings."

"Do they think that by betraying us, others will make them rich and powerful? That's definitely impossible. At most, they can be given a little money, and then they will have to go back to living the life of a servant."

"I'm just giving you a rough plan. You'll definitely need to refine the specific details. You're all experts in this field, and I trust your expertise."

"Take this."

Lin En took out a leather bag the size of a human head from his magic pattern leather bag and threw it to Drake.

"There are five thousand kronor in this, which is also the funding for your upcoming activities. I may not have the time to provide you with activity experience on time every month, so I will give you a sum of money every once in a while, just like now."

"I prefer to speak my mind upfront."

"I hope you don't have the idea of ​​'taking this money and running away with it.' If you do that, you will be very disappointed in me... I regard you as like-minded people. We should fight together for a noble cause."

The witcher's words made everyone present's blood boil.

But they did not express their views immediately.

Instead, they all looked at Drake.

"Sister-in-law?"

Drake slapped his thigh hard.

"Damn it, let's do it. We have nowhere else to go anyway, so let's see what you, a demon hunter, can do."

The scarred woman stood up and performed a gesture of allegiance.

Others followed suit and saluted.

"Francis Drake, at your command."

"The Syndicate is yours, sir." Any force needs an intelligence organization.

Whether in ancient or modern times, in China or abroad, wars are fought with the expenditure of money and intelligence.

Since Lynn doesn't just want to be a demon hunter who exchanges water ghosts' heads for a few crowns, he definitely needs a spy network.

The sooner a spy network is established, the better.

If you wait until you need it to build it, it will be too late.

Lin En gave the task of recruiting beggars to the syndicate and allowed it to grow and expand its strength.

But he was not worried that the syndicate would get out of his control.

the reason is simple.

No intelligence organization of any force can exist independently from that force.

The operation of any intelligence organization requires funds.

And the owner who feeds the syndicate is yourself alone.

As long as you hold the rope called funds in your hands, you don't have to worry about the syndicate getting out of your control.

Some may ask, where does the money to feed the syndicate come from?

In fact, it is very simple. It comes from the information obtained by the beggars recruited by the syndicate.

In a city like Novigrad, with a permanent population of tens of thousands, the profits that can be gained from accurate intelligence are immeasurable.

These are the keys to Lynn's fortune in Novigrad and even his control of this free city one day in the future.

As long as the syndicate's operations require its own funding, Lynn will be able to keep the syndicate firmly in his own hands.

Of course, what is mentioned above is just a precautionary measure taken by the demon hunter.

The experience of his previous life made him accustomed to keeping something in reserve no matter what he did.

But in fact, many times, things will not develop to this point.

As long as Drake is not stupid, he will not want to take the team out to work alone.

The reason is simple: not everyone is suitable for starting a business.

The most typical example is Lu Bu.

The fame he is known for today was earned while working under Dong Zhuo.

Later, he killed his boss and started his own business, but things got worse and worse.

Until he finally kills himself.

Lynn believed that Drake was not a fool, and if she was, Lynn was not worried.

Lynn has another insurance policy:
Before today, he had actually secretly met with several cadres under Drake in private and successfully won them over.

If Drake really has second thoughts, her cadres can join forces to kill her.

……

A few days later, Geralt and his party finally arrived at the town of Kagen and reunited with Lynn.

Although Toussaint is not far from the town of Kagen in the north of Rivendell Valley, the transportation in that era was not as developed as it is today, and traveling long distances on horseback was definitely not a comfortable experience.

The demon hunters and high-level vampires were fine, but Tynesel, the master elven blacksmith, was exhausted after traveling for so many days from Beauclair.

So everyone had to rest in Kagen Town for two more days before setting off again.

Cross the Yaruga River and then head north.
